Audio problem: In the scene where James Caan is lying in bed, practising grabbing a large knife from his arm sling, there is the metallic sound as he pulls out the knife. In the sling are his arm and the knife. There is nothing metal the knife could be pulled against to make that sound.
Misery (1990)
Plot summary

Starring: Kathy Bates, James Caan, Richard Farnsworth, Frances Sternhagen

Annie Wilkes: Oh forgive me Paul for prattling away and making everything all oogy.
Trivia: In the book Annie kills the young cop with her lawnmower. It was left out of the movie because the director didn't want the audience to hate the actress Kathy Bates, which is also why he had her use a sledgehammer instead of cutting off his feet.
